A Cat Was Involved

Coming August 14, an e-short story about the day Chet and Bernie met. You don’t necessarily have to have an e-reader. More on that when Spence and Admin get back together. Meanwhile, here’s what the cover looks like.

Good morning all. I was pretending I was a cat this morning and caught a baby bird, a sparrow I think. I dropped it right away when Barb yelled “Leave It!”, but I think it died of shock. Barb put it down outside the fence, but it didn’t recover. I feel bad.

Fire!…snort!…My whole state is burning up and Govenor Hickenlooper is still trying to get tourists to come visit…grunt!…Let me tell ya, smelling smoke on your vacation is not really all its cracked up to be…sniff!

Tummies were the beginning of the day. Zoë let Patsy in my room after her breakfast (complete with garlic). When she heard me waking up, she climbed on the bed and it was kisses and tummies. Nothing like garlic!

Have not been feeling tip top. Turns out my ulcer is back. Hmmm, stress? What stress? Upped the meds. That should work.

Riö, take care! You might consider weighing down your friend’s mom by putting Beau on her!

Rio, yes your state is on fire and I agree with you about why be a tourist there right now. The same is true of parts of NM. Why be a tourist when you will be gassed by wildfire smoke and won’t be able to see any of the Rocky Mountains because they are enveloped in smoke from the fires.
Our Governor does the same thing.

Huge tents that sell fireworks have sprouted up all over our state. The governor wants the power to ban firworks state wide when we have drought conditions, but the legislature won’t pass that bill. I would say that our legislature has the collective IQ of a goldfish, and they do, but they have been bought off by the fireworks lobby.

I have been working on moving the host for YSAS website for the past 3 days. Finally got it done when I discover that Yahoo has to change ONE thing. Except they won’t let me change that information because they don’t think he exists. Even though he’s been paying them for over 2 years. I am 8 minutes into a 25 minute phone hold.

Next thing on list done. Our go-to guy for house repairs, Steve, came by and figured out what is going to be needed to fix our 200 year old house so that he can paint it.

Not as bad as we thought. Several windows have to be replaced but that’s okay. Some boards and fixing an area where two roof lines meet and we get ice dams. They are going to fix on and off for the next month and then paint. Should be done by the middle of September.

Rio – Kirby’s mom said something about trying to go to Atlanta a lot of posts ago. It’s very cool that she was able to get there to meet Bella. Safe journey to both of them as they move on as well as safe journey to all the east coasters. (that’s you, Little Sammie…)

Internet Reading Group: you might check out the Tyrus Books site. They offer free kindle and nook books each week. There’s also an interesting article in the June 25 New Yorker, by Ken Auletta. “Paper Trail” – did publishers and Apple collude against Amazon? PSQA might have an opinion on the e-book issues.

I bought a 1/2 gallon of liquid blood today. YSAS needs it for his Zombies on Sunday.

MollyPop’s Mom has mentioned she is going to Princess Sam’s tomorrow and spending the night before she heads southeast.

I’m going to bed so I can get up early and do all those things I usually do so I can get out of here before 8:30 so I can get to the Royals’ by 9:15 so we can go pick up a certain SOMEONE! Safe Travels Every One!

Good news! We have a good solid offer on the house, from a good buyer who loves Barb’s decorating and everything about the place. We were presented with the offer this afternoon, and will be countering tomorrow morning. Ww are very close price wise, and everything should be fine. She wants to close first of August, but we are requesting mid August. We are excited to say the least!

Drive!…How far did Kirby’s Maw have to drive?…sniff!…I remember she drove to Atlanta to see Spencer and Admin one time when they were both appearing for book signings…heh!…She got to hear both of them speak if I recall correctly…wheeze!..Youse two go ahead and Gossip!Gossip!Gossip! and have a good time!…snorkel!

Walk!…We did our walk together and early so that we can all watch the WHOLE baseball game tonight…sniff!…What a treat! Except we are Upstairs so her mother can be in bed without fear of a certain Black Lug-Pug getting up there on her bed and making her miserable…grunt!…Oh No! The Nationals just scored first…grump!

Zombies!…One day when Melanie is not so darned busy or tired she is going to have to explain “Zombies” to us….grunt!…I thought it was a Video Game, but if she is buy real blood, then it is something altogether different….wheeze!

Wha!? ….How am I missing all this important information?….grump!…Has Clarkson jumped from Actor to Director without me knowing?….wheeze!…If so, then why hasn’t he been recruited to film the Really Big Event this Friday???….wuffle!

Gah!…She was watching us tussle and fight over a certain stuffed toy that has yet to be duct-taped …wheeze!…We all looked up and the score is 8 to Nuthing Nationals….Gah!….Please, lets not re-live last night!…huffle!…Hi Wookie!

Scutaro!…Is back at bat…whew!…He was knocked flat out on Monday with a 95 mile an hour pitch to the head…grunt!…He gets a base hit!….WOOOOOOO!…Now it is 8 ta ONE!…WOOOOO!heh!…Good to have Scutaro back.

Wookie!…Its a good thing you posted a comment…grunt…I was all packed and had one paw in the Beausmobile headed for the airport to catch a flight to Florence, MA….wheeze!…I thought everyone wea there but Me!Me!Me!…wuffle!…Thanks pal, I don’t like the idea of flying, so you saved me from a terrifying experience!…snort!

Rio. Sometimes brevity is the soul of discretion, or something like that. Anyways, busy day here, mom had a bunch of quilt ladies here all day learning how to do notebook covers and I was in supervision overdrive. Hard work, but someone has to do it. Wookie

I don’t know how many times KirbyT’s mom and I said good-bye. I think it was more than two, but why bother counting any higher. We would bid farewell and anther fifteen minutes would pass. Again and again we repeated the routine, but there was much to say and learn about her and KTP and so little time. It was after midnight when the good-bye finally stuck. I am so glad she made the drive. It was a treat spending time with her. Once we started talking it was hard to stop.

We read the blog a couple of times during our visit and saw Barb’s good news! Excellent!

You would think when my wake up time rang a couple hours after we said good-bye I would have a hard time getting out of bed. Not so. Today brings with it another treat of the meeting Spence and KTP’s mom variety. At the thought of meeting even more Plunderers and the extended Plundering family, I sprang out of bed eager to ready myself for the day. In just a couple of hours I will be picke up at the airport by Stinky Mama and Melanie. Woohoo!

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? CheersKaty Roofing Contractor, 831 Comstock Springs Drive, #A, Katy, TX 77450 – (281) 829-8297
